Tragically, both of her sons died in action in World War II, and she did not publish again after the war ended, saying that “the war stopped the taste for fairies – in parents anyhow – and the fairies fled, appalled at the bomb”. (The Art of the Australian Fairy)
*this is not entirely true - she did publish again, just nothing about fairies. Pixies, yes. Guineapigs, sure. Fairies, no.
